Destructive tendencies
May 20, 2013
Wandering near my home
I notice
near the freshly painted
fence posts
a small survivor
of man's tyranny
small insignificant flower
no harm done to us
painted over
even if by accident
unnecessary destruction
Why so many changes
we poison the land
turn it black and sick
all for what?
Money?
Only when the last tree has been
chopped down,
final stream paved over,
will man realize that
you can't eat money
Nature will go on
but, what of us?
Will we adapt to life without nature?
Or will we be killed
smitten by our vanity
